About Repentance
Chapter 5 of the book Biblical Repentance
Fruits Will Always Follow Repentance
In conclusion, let us consider the fruits which always follow genuine Biblical repentance.
John the Baptist warned his hearers, “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance” (Mat 3:8). And the Apostle Paul told King Agrippa that his message to the Jews and to the Gentiles was “that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance” (Act 26:20). So from these two Scriptures we learn that true biblical repentance will show itself in the believer’s life by its fruits. Let us look then at some of these fruits. As we do, let us pray that the Holy Spirit will open our understanding to His precious Word and that He will open and search our hearts. May the Lord show us if these fruits are being produced in our lives by the Spirit of the living God.
